Blacky Foster House

The Blacky Foster House in the vicinity of Shoup, Idaho was built in about 1930. It has also been known as Smith Gulch Cabin and Johnny Briggs Cabin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

The cabin is located within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. It is accessible only by pack trail or by river. It is located on a river bench north of the Salmon River, about 50 ft west of Smith Gulch, which brings a small stream to the river.

It is a single room log cabin with a gable roof, built of peeled logs. It has three tiers of horizontal logs, above which are vertical poles about 6 in to 11 in in diameter, rising up to 2x6 in plates at the eaves.
